Holy guacamole: Taco Bell is coming to Melbourne

Taco Bell, the world’s largest Mexican-inspired fast food joint, has confirmed it is setting up shop in Melbourne.

While the date and exact location are still being confirmed, we do know that Melbourne’s Taco Bell (the first outside of Queensland in Australia) will be located somewhere in the city’s inner east. We’re speculating that means Richmond, Abbotsford or maybe even Cremorne.

Taco Bell originated in the US, with the first Australian outlet opening in Brisbane in 2017. The new Melbourne store will serve popular Taco Bell items like the Crunchwrap Supreme and Cheesy Gordita Crunch as well as a few dishes tailored towards Australian appetites.

While she has a keen interest in Melbourne's music and arts scene, you'll find her writing on just about anything happening in the city. Most of her free time is spent going to gigs – or volunteering to try the weirdest, most out-there experiences in the city. She's also a big fan of communicating via GIF, and considers the medium an under appreciated art form.
